I just received a video converter that I ordered from ebay. Rather than post a link, which will expire, here is the description and seller info: RGBS/CGA/EGA/YUV TO VGA converter 1 output arcade game chowhe_taiwan $32.00 + 5.95 S+H
I didn't have to wire up a cable, as I had a cable with a DB-15 on one end and a VGA plug on the other. I think it was made for use with a Mac and a VGA monitor. I connected this cable to the VGA-style input of the board (not for VGA input, although the connector is the same) and a VGA LCD on the output connector. The board is powered from 5-12 VDC. I used a 12 V, 1 A switching adapter that I had on hand.
Ah! I just noticed this comment about using the HD-15 (VGA) input connector. Never even tried that, since I thought it was for actual 31.5Khz. H-Sync VGA. It's possible that H/V and composite sync are both recognized here (they are not on the 8-pin header). Would you mind taking an ohmmeter to that cable and posting the pinout?
